“This was my first time using a professional car sitter. I was very nervous about it. When I first met Annabella, my mind was put to ease. She is very sweet and has a calm and gentle personality. I have 4 cats. One is a diabetic and needs insulin injections. Annabella did an excellent job checking on them, feeding them, and taking care of the litter box. I am so happy and relieved to know that I can call her again the next time I go out of town.”

“First time in a while I have not worried about our cats on vacation! Cecilia paid close attention to the things we asked her to take care of and she handled it all like a pro. Plus it’s obvious she loves cats and our cats loved her when they first met.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs and I have looked over puppies to senior dogs. I love staying active and getting our little fur friends the attention they need while you’re away. I’m currently working full time so I’d be available anytime on the weekends or early morning/ late nights. I’m looking to make a new schedule so I’m open to making new availability. I have my own apartment with security fences and a very walkable neighborhood with a lot of parks near by for walking and play. Very private apartment very relaxing for any fur friends who might be a little nervous.
“Rachel is great! My dogs can be pretty rambunctious, and she was super patient with them which I really appreciate. I also loved all the updates and photos she sent, as well as being super communicative with her visits.”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous about leaving our puppies and going on vacation. Brooke did a fantastic job and we will be happy to hire her again to take care of our dogs.”
“Lauren was the best!! took care of my kitties, snakes, and scorpion!! super communicative and went above and beyond to make sure the babies are well cared for. would definitely book again:)”
“Minerva is such a wonderful sitter. Fast, responsive, prompt, great communication. She was kind and loving and very attentive to our kitty cat when we were away. Awesome updates and photographs. It was reassuring having Minerva in our home with our cat. 100% recommend if you need a super sitter. We are really grateful.”

Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!
Kylie did a wonderful job in caring for our dogs while I was unable to during surgery. She provided top quality care to our senior dogs and most especially to my daughter’s dog, Koda. During the time we were away, Koda was struggling with eating and standing on his own. Every morning, Kylie would help him to relieve himself and would also spoon feed him so he could eat. With her kindness, Koda was able to be strong enough to wait for my daughter to come home. Kylie was truly exceptional and is an amazing caretaker for animals.
Annabella was amazing caring for our little senior dog in our home while we were away. Our dog needs medication and prescription food from the freezer so not the most easy client but Annabella managed it all perfectly. She even took our cans to the curb and kept or kitchen orchid perfectly watered!
Andrew was amazing! He helped me out last minute, and I was so thankful he was available. He took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and made everything so easy. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely book with Andrew again. Thanks so much!
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.
Halle provided 3x a day drop in visits over four days. She was always on time and stayed with Luka for at least the the amount of time requested. Halle did everything asked of her and bonded nicely with Luka. So much so, that I'm sure Luka was hoping that it was Halle at the door instead of us. I would gladly have Halle watch Luka again.
This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Northridge on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 16,291 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northridge. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
